CAUTION DO NOT PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS ON THE DO NOT CLIMB UP THE CHILLER CHILLER OR THE CONTROL PANEL Do not climb up the chiller to avoid Do not place heavy objects on the nasty fall. chiller or the control panel to avoid possible injury caused by falling.
2. OPERAING PRECAUTIONS (1) Stop timing of auxiliary equipments During the dilution cycle operation of the Chiller, the chilled water pump (both the primary side and the secondary side) and air handling unit must be operated for the necessary time. The Chiller has a little cooling capacity even if it is in the dilution cycle operation.
Page 9
2-1. PRECAUTIONS WITHIN 1 HOUR AFTER THE CHILLER STOP (1) Never operate the cooling water pump within 1 hour after the chiller stop. Otherwise, there is a possibility of chilled water freezing in the evaporator tube. Please operate the cooling water pump automatically by a signal from the chiller.
2-3. CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENTS (1) On-off control of the auxiliary equipments such as chilled water pump, cooling water pump, cooling tower fan and hot water pump shall be linked to the absorption chiller operation for the safety of the absorption chiller.
Page 11
Detailed procedure (1) At the start of the chiller “chilled water pump on-off signal” and “hot water pump on-off signal” become ON. (2) Chilled water pump starts in conjunction with the above signal. (3) This makes the answerback signal return to the chiller. (4) The chiller control system confirms if the chilled water flow rate is enough.
After that, restart operation. During purging operation. Immediately close the purge valve completely and turn off the purge pump switch on the control panel. After power returns, restart purging, and contact Carrier service agent. 2-5. NOISE DATA Model : 16LJ-A Noise [dB(A)] 81.5 81.5...

5-2-3. Refrigerant blow down During a cooling operation, a little quantity of absorbent could mix into the refrigerant. Accumulated amount of the mixed absorbent could increase by a long-term operation and result in lowering of the cooling capacity, therefore refrigerant blow down must be performed at least once in a cooling season. By this work, the contaminated refrigerant is transferred to absorber side, and new, clear refrigerant is replaced.

2. Analysis of water quality Check the water quality of make up water to satisfy the water quality guideline “JRA GL-02-1994”. About the analysis of water quality, contact a water treatment company. 3. Method of water treatment (1) Blow down Manage the recycling water quality to satisfy the water quality guideline “JRA GL-02-1994”.

6. Typical water treatment Even if make-up water for cooling water meets the water standards, the water quality gets worse by its concentration, therefore the following water treatment is necessary. To varying degrees, chilled water also requires this treatment. In case of an application of concrete heat storage tank, special attention should be paid to water treatment.
4. Discharge the water from the discharge port on the cooling water inlet. 5. Keep the discharge port open during shut down. (2) Chilled water Keep the evaporator full with the water. (Wet lay up) (3) Hot water Keep the generator full with the water. (Wet lay up) 5-3-3.
6. MAINTENANCE CONTRACT 6-1. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACT Periodic inspection and parts replacement is important for safety operation. The inspection work requires a special skill. Please contract our service agent for details. We are not responsible for any troubles that are caused by maintenance service performed by a non-specialist.
